gridbaglayout question

[happiocholloh]

Im learning how to use the gridbag layout, so far have got 8 JLabels underneath each other.

Have set the gridy's respectively, but...

The labels are all in the middle of the JFrame and are justified to the center like a tree.

What am I missing, I thought that if you set the gridx to 0 it would start from topleft?

How can I justify everything to the left?

Im guessing this is school boy stuff otherwise i can paste my code

See: How to Use GridBagLayout (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Laying Out Components Within a Container)

Look for the section that explains how the weightx, weighty constraints work.
